Paul O'Grady has quit his BBC2 radio show after 14 years.
The presenter and comedian said he felt it was the right time to leave after being with the show for over a decade.
In a statement, the television presenter said: "I've loved doing my Sunday afternoon show for the last 14 years and I'm going to miss my listeners as well as the fun I've had with my producer Malcolm Prince, but I feel that now is the right time to go."

Paul originally said he would be taking a brief hiatus from the show that would last 13 weeks which caused fans to rally to his support. In a previous post to Instagram, he said: "Penultimate show today. Hope you’re enjoying the sun unless you’re somewhere where it’s raining then ignore that #teampogradio @malprin."
In June the BBC announced a major shakeup to its lineup as Craig Charles and Tony Blackburn lost their long term slots at the station.
